Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — Travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere—the hostel doesn’t accommodate pets on site.
  • Check-in starts at 15:00 — Arriving early? You’ll need to wait until 3 PM to access your room. The 24-hour reception can hold bags, though.
  • Shared dorm-style basics — Some rooms are dorms with shared bathrooms only—if you want a private bath, you’ll need to book the Twin Room, which is the only listed private option with a shower.
  • Potential noise from busy area — Set in the heart of the Old Quarter, the street can be lively, though several reviewers noted it was surprisingly quiet.
